The Poker Face meme is a cornerstone of the classic rage comic era, first appearing on internet message boards like 4chan around 2010. Characterized by its simplistic, blank expression—consisting of just two dots for eyes and a straight line for a mouth—it is used to represent a character's attempt to remain emotionless during an incredibly awkward, embarrassing, or uncomfortable situation. Whether you have just made a social faux pas or witnessed something bizarre, the Poker Face captures the universal human experience of trying to blend into the background when things go south. It remains one of the most recognizable and enduring symbols of early internet meme culture, often serving as the punchline to situational comics.
